Migration, or Trade: How Work at the Taylor Bray

Archaeological Mystery with Archaeologist Craig Chartier.
Archaeologists have been wondering how a 
different point style arrived in New England 
around 3,500 years ago. Does it represent an 
invasion of people, a migration, or just an 
exchange of ideas and artifacts?  Sites

was found at Taylor Bray Farm during the 2013 
field season. will discuss the implications of this find.
